I am excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a weekend photo workshop for photographers of all levels on June 6-7 in Aspen at the Aspen Square Hotel.  We will focus on the art of landscapes and outdoor portraiture at the Maroon Bells and Independence Pass, along with classroom instruction. Canon USA staff will be on hand with a range of free gear demos of their latest camera bodies, lenses and speedlites.  Please call the studio with questions, 970-963-2462.  Space is limited so please register soon.  I look forward to working with you!

My first assistant Draper and I traveled to beautiful Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys to shoot the April cover story for USA Today’s Open Air Magazine.  Special thanks for the exceptional art direction from Leon Lawrence and David Baratz of USA Today, Jennifer Dinan at Hawks Cay, and Backbone Media for providing the stylish clothing!

Wonderful Machine, a boutique marketing agency, graciously produced this promotional piece highlighting my latest work… thanks again Neil!

We shot this ad campaign for the Canon EOS 50D on the beautiful Strang Ranch here in Carbondale. Pictured here is the real-deal cowboy Max Macdonell, a talented rider and a tough hombre.  The ad ran in PDN’s March 2009 issue.

As a small business owner, it is an honor to give back to the community that gives us so much. As such, I pay my two employees their full salary to volunteer locally, up to 40 hours per year. First assistant Draper White tutors middle school students in Photoshop and digital photography. I am a weekly literacy volunteer at Carbondale Elementary School, and  lecture at local schools. I am also working on an exciting video project for the orphan-empowerment agency Wide Horizons For Children. Finally, our studio contributes numerous framed print to charitable fundraisers. If you’d like to work with us on a volunteer project, please contact us!

Suzuki’s latest national ad campaign features my image of rope swinging at the beautiful Little Squam Lake in New Hampshire. Bravo to my brother-in-law David Currier for the endless backflips!

As one of Canon’s Explorers of Light, I was asked to share my photography adventures with audiences at the October 2008 PhotoPlus Expo in NYC. My six lectures included tips on creating high-selling stock imagery, shooting challenging assignments with minimal equipment, and using Canon’s speedlights to their maximum potential. Thank you to Klaus Kocher for sharing this image!
